Over the years I have used numerous backup programs and none of them worked to my satisfaction. I downloaded the FolderClone trial version and used it for a month before I bought it. FolderClone is by far the best backup solution I have used. It is easy to use and reliable. It has already bailed me out. Both of my home PCs went nuts when Internet Explorer 8 came out. I had to restore both PCs. I did not lose a single user file because FolderClone works!!! ( Now understand that FolderClone is not imaging software, I did not use it to restore my PCs, just my user files. For imaging and restoring my PCs I use Acronis True Image)
It does exactly what I want it to do, when I want it to do it. Basically, if Windows Explorer can find a file, FolderClone can find it and put a backup copy of it on any memory device that Windows Explorer can find. You can use Windows Explorer to see and test the copies. I abck up to a second internal hard drive, a USB thumb drive, and a USB external hard drive
With FolderClone, I daily backup: My Documents totally, selected files individually, Microsoft Outlook, Windows Favorites, Microsoft Money, and RoboForm (encrypted passwords and documents). Monthly I backup My Documents to an external drive.
Microsoft Outlook is the trickiest file to backup. Windows, by default, hides the Outlook user file. To setup FolderClone to copy it I had to set Widows to view hidden folders (from Widows Explorer select Tools / Folder Options / View / Files and Folders / Hidden Files and Folders / Show hidden files and folders). The location of your Outlook files in Windows XP is: C: Documents and Settings YOUR USER NAME Local Settings Application Data Microsoft Outlook. Within FolderClone go to the Task Properties / Options / CHECK Override Application Level Options / UNCHECK Ignore Hidden Files, UNCHECK Ignore Hidden Folders. The Outlook files location in Windows 7 is: C;UsersYOUR NAMEAppDataLocalMicrosoftOutlook

Finally, a back-up tool that’s easy to use and does exactly what I need. I need to back-up a set of folders and files to an external drive every night. FolderClone does just that. It took me less than 5 minutes to set it up and it worked perfectly the first time out. There’s not many other software tools I can say that about. I can’t praise FolderClone enough.
One note: FolderClone is not a full-blown back-up tool. It won’t mirror your hard drive, i.e. back-up applications and system files. Nor will it create archives of your data. But if you need to make sure files are synced or backed-up on a regular schedule, FC is for you.

I use this program daily (actually I use the Professional Edition). I could NOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS.
I’ve got all of my data files, and application settings, and emails, and pictures, and music files backed up automatically for me to an external drive.
This has saved my hide several times in the last few years!
If you are not currently backing up, DO IT NOW. This tool makes it as easy and as mindless as possible.
